The Lady Dutch volleyball team will be looking for some momentum heading into their October 22nd Class 4A Volleyball Regionals match at Newton when they travel to play Little Hawkeye Conference rival Norwalk tonight.

Pella Christian’s volleyball team pushed a ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg team to the brink, but eventually fell in three sets, losing game one 25 – 13, coming back to win game two 25 – 19, and losing the deciding third set 15 – 9.

“Scrappy” was the word that Eagles Head Volleyball Coach, Cindy Nikkel, used to describe the play of Norwalk, and Pella Christian seemed to come out with some determination of their own, fighting off the Warriors and winning in three straight sets, 27 – 25, 25 – 20, and 25 – 21.

After a few days off to recover from a disappointing setback against Oskaloosa, the Pella Christian volleyball team is back in action for a weekend tournament again today – this time on their home court.

Knoxville led the field of local schools competing at Thursday night’s PCM Mustang Invitational cross country meet, as the Panther boys took the team title with a comfortable victory over Ballard; and girls squad finished in fifth.

After cramming five meets into the first two weeks of the season, the Pella Christian cross country teams finally got a chance to get their legs back under them this week and are ready to return to competition tomorrow in Monroe. On this week’s Marion County PM Sports Page program, KNIA/KRLS Sports Director Eric Gotschall talked with Leah Breon, Demaris Worthington, Jacob Lensing and Ryen Van Vark about the team’s progress up to this point, what type of terrain they run best on, and what challenges and goals lie in front of them.

One of the marquee volleyball rivalries in the Little Hawkeye Conference will unfold on the court for the first time this season tonight, as Pella Christian makes the quick trip down Highway 163 to face Oskaloosa.
